Chapter 118: Revenge if you want revenge, and grievance if you want grievance, I'll take you there

"Ah, you said you have no brains? Who are you saying has no brains? Damn it, you really deserve to die."

Among the four puppet corpses, the only female puppet grabbed her head with both hands and roared like a wicked woman.

The noise gave the other three ancestor puppets headaches.

The puppet of Patriarch Lu clenched his teeth, trembling all over, with his hands shaped into claws, as if he wanted to take action, to twist the bitch's neck, to take off her head, to pick up a wooden stick and stuff it into her mouth and stir it, so that she would shut up completely.

Zheng Yuan's puppet noticed Ancestor Lu's little move, patted his hand lightly without making any expression, and shook his head. His meaning was very clear: give me some face, don't be impulsive. We are here to find Xuan Dian the demon, don't start an internal conflict just because of a woman's whining.

The puppet of Patriarch Lu took a deep breath. Fortunately, it was not the real body that came. Otherwise, with the real body's temperament, how could he tolerate it and would have taken action long ago.

Just when Zheng Yuan wanted the Yan family ancestor to shut up.

No one expected that the ancestor of the Longxi Li family also picked up a wooden stick from somewhere and swung it at the back of the head of the Yan ancestor's puppet, "Yell, yell, yell Nima, do you know what we are here for?"

"The demon said you have no brains, do you really have no brains?"

"Dry."

The ancestor of the Li family was very strong. He used all his strength to hit the ancestor of the Yan family with stick after stick. The back of the head of the ancestor of the Yan family was shriveled and sunken, and smelly blood flowed out. The puppet corpse had been dead for many days and was able to move now, but it was just controlled by evil magic.

The ancestor of the Yan family cursed and roared, but gradually, his voice became smaller and weaker, until the moment his head was smashed, there was no sound at all.

The Li family patriarch threw the stick aside and said, "Fuck, you stinky woman, your screaming gave me a headache. It's so good now, it's completely quiet, so comfortable."

Lin Fan and Master Gui Wu watched.

The two women couldn't understand. Aren't they in the same group? Why did they kill each other? The gray rat demon's face turned pale. He didn't expect the world outside to be so terrible and dangerous. He was really scared.

But seeing that the Taoist priest was calm and composed, not panicking at all, he put his fear behind him. He thought: If the Taoist priest is not afraid, then why should I be afraid?

At this moment, only three of the four ancestors are left.

Lin Fan said: "A demon is a demon. He can even kill his own people. How can such evil nature not be destroyed?"

Swish! The Li family ancestor looked at Xuan Dian Yaodao with a cold gaze, and then shifted his gaze to Gui Wu.

"Gui Wu, why are you with the demon Taoist Xuan Dian? Are you no longer prepared to honor what you promised?" asked the ancestor of the Li family.

Master Guiwu said, "Amitabha, Mr. Li, when have I ever said I would regret it? Although the world is vast, there are not many roads. I met Taoist Xuandian halfway. Is there any problem?"

"Hehe, how do you prove what you said?" Deep down in his heart, the ancestor of the Li family was unwilling to choose Guiwu and form an alliance with the Xuandian demon. This was unimaginable for the remaining four families.

"Monks do not tell lies." said Master Guiwu.

Zheng Yuan said: "It's ridiculous. He didn't lie. Then why did you accompany him to Cui's house and watch him kill Cui Wushuang?"

"I was just passing by." Gui Wu didn't want to explain more and said simply.

Zheng Yuan sneered. Just as he was about to speak, the Li family ancestor spoke first: "Okay, Gui Wu, remember what you said. We Wu Wang have always believed in your words. I hope you can keep your promise."

Zheng Yuan was stunned. No, are you kidding me? You just believe his nonsense? When he teamed up with Cui Wushuang, this bald donkey was very ruthless. He didn't seem to keep his promise at all. He was just lying with his eyes open.

The ancestor of the Li family calmed Gui Wu down. He could understand that Longxi was still a bit far from here and it would take some time to reach Longxi, but his Zheng family was in Beiyuzhou.

The demon Xuan Dian and Gui Wu were coming for him.

"Amitabha, thank you for your trust, Mr. Li. I can swear that what happened to the Cui family was the Cui family's own fault. I was just watching from the sidelines, and my hands are not stained with the blood of anyone in the Cui family." Gui Wu said.

He could swear to Buddha on this point.

The faces of the three ancestors changed slightly. If it was really as Gui Wu said, that is to say, the demon Xuan Dian had the ability to kill Cui Wushuang, he could also kill them.

Zheng Yuan's puppet said, "Master Xuandian, what do you want so that you will not go against us four families?"

The names have changed.

The transformation from a demon to a Taoist priest is very natural. If you don't listen carefully, it is difficult to notice the change.

“Haha.” Lin Fan chuckled. “Master Taoist? I still prefer you to call me a demon Taoist. It’s so direct and honest. Why be so hypocritical? Don’t you think so?”

Zheng Yuan said: "The Taoist priest is a Taoist master, how can he be called a demon? The Zheng family has been rooted in Northern Yuzhou for a long time and has been developing diligently. The Taoist priest started from Qingzhou and went to Bingzhou, and now he has come to Northern Yuzhou. I have seen everything he has done. Although a descendant of the Zheng family died at the hands of the Taoist priest, our Zheng family is willing to put aside the hatred, get to know the Taoist priest, and resolve the misunderstanding."

He doesn't want to make enemies with the demon Xuan Dian now.

It's too weird.

At the same time, he didn't believe Gui Wu the bald monk at all. He said he would not help, but why did he stop him and Cui Wushuang in the first place? So for the survival of the Zheng family, he just wanted to let go of the conflict between the two sides. Even if they had to fight, it would be time for the Zheng family to make full preparations in the future.

"I have no grudges against your Zheng family. How do you resolve it?" Lin Fan said.

Zheng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He obviously thought that Taoist Xuan Dian was willing to negotiate with the Zheng family, but the following words made him completely angry.

"I came down the mountain to slay demons and punish evildoers. You, the Five Hopes and the Huangtian Sect, have committed many evils and brought disaster to the people. Even if I lose my life, I will eradicate you completely." Lin Fan was extremely determined. He did not back down at all. He did not even think of entrusting the other party to the virtual snake.

Zheng Yuan's pupils shrank, and the evil in his heart burst out completely, "Okay, okay, Xuan Dian Demon Dao, since you have said so much today, then my Zheng family will take a good look at what you, a demon Dao, are capable of."

Lin Fan took a step forward and appeared in front of Zheng Yuan's puppet. He kicked out and Zheng Yuan's puppet body shot out like a cannonball. In the process of retreating, the force of that kick exploded instantly and the puppet body exploded.

"How ridiculous! You are so ignorant that you actually want to negotiate with me. You are just dreaming. Just wait for me to come with the righteous torrent."

Lin Fan set his sights on the remaining two ancestor puppets.

The two ancestors retreated again and again.

The Lu family patriarch said fiercely: "Xuan Dian demon, we came here today to negotiate with you. If you insist on opposing us, then you just wait. It is a foolish dream to think that you can change the situation with your own strength."

The Li family ancestor also said: "You think that by killing Cui Wushuang, you are challenging us, Siwang? Well, well, well, let's see who will win in the end. This world will always be ours."

"Hahaha, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Lin Fan said disdainfully.

The Li family ancestor said: "You are not afraid, how could you be afraid of us Wuwang? You have destroyed the Cui family, but do you really think that you can change the world by yourself?"

"I have this confidence." Lin Fan said.

The Li family ancestor snorted, "Confidence? This is how the world is. Even the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is evil and turbid. Everyone follows the will of heaven and earth, but you insist on going against it. You won't go far."

Lin Fan did not answer, but looked up at the sky. The seemingly clear sky was covered with a layer of gray mist in the Eyes of Merit. They were right, the heaven and earth were filled with turbid and evil air.

This is the reality of the world.

But he didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it.

“Yes, you are right, it is indeed very evil, but…” Lin Fan’s eyes were fixed, full of spirit and determination, “If people are evil, I will kill them, if the sky is evil, I will cleanse the sky, and you are the demons that I want to eliminate.”

The ancestors of the Li family and the Lu family looked at each other.

All of them laughed in low, disdainful voices.

"Then we'll wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Fan to make a move, the two puppets trembled violently, went limp, and fell to the ground.

This completely cut off contact.

Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly. The wind blew and rolled up his Yin-Yang Taoist robe. He seemed to be out of place in this world, but he forcibly tore a hole in it and injected his thoughts into it.

Is it difficult? Yes, it is difficult.

But is he afraid?

If he was really scared, he wouldn't have gone down the mountain.

Having come this far, he will not stop. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of the Axe of Righteousness that his master has blessed for him, and how can he be worthy of the Nine Dragon Golden Mace that Lord Jiang sent him.

Gui Wu walked up to Lin Fan and said, "Fellow Daoist, today we have finally talked it out. With the Cui family's experience as a lesson, Si Wang will not sit idly by and wait for death. You must be extremely careful."

"How could I be afraid of them?" Lin Fan didn't take them seriously.

Gui Wu looked at the golden mace on his fellow Taoist's back, and his worry about him eased a lot. The power of the Nine Dragon Golden Mace had already enhanced his fellow Taoist's abilities invisibly.

Gui Wudao: "Of course you don't have to be afraid. Based on your current situation, in a one-on-one fight, in my opinion, no one can be your opponent."

It’s time to say it. Say it.

It’s time to praise. Praise it.

Besides, he was not exaggerating. With the form of Daoist friend, what was it called? Oh, yes, it was called the Purple Air Eastward Dao Body. To what extent would it elevate the physical body? All kinds of evil auras were entangled together, which was a hodgepodge, terrifying to the extreme.

Revealing one's true identity would already cause great psychological oppression to the other party.

Even though fellow Taoist's realm was not high, he made up for the gap between the two sides with the help of this physical body. Also, the spells that fellow Taoist knew were already miraculous, especially the Buddha Demon Meditation Seal, which was completely beyond the limits of spells.

也不知道友到底是从哪学到，这门邪性到极致的法术。

别说什么降魔拳演变的，谁信谁傻，想他皈无很傻嘛，明显不傻的好不好。

林凡摇头道：“铲除他们容易，但他们对这世道所造成的灾难是有限的，这世道中的恶人太多太多，贫道只能一步步的前行，在道家天眼下，不放过任何恶人。”

此话如果是以往，皈无只会觉得他的心是真大，如何能做到？但现在，他亲眼看着玄颠道友砍杀无数，证明有那样的魄力与能力。

“阿弥陀佛。”皈无这次是很真诚的，没有包含别的意思，“道友，咱们也该分别了。”

“大师准备去哪？”林凡问道。

皈无道：“随缘而去，但终会再见，道友在北豫州尽情施展，贫道去前方，如遇到一些事情，也能为道友拦着。”

“多谢大师。”林凡说道，“大师不妨去寺庙看看，今日彻底撕破脸皮，恐怕会对那些寺庙下手。”

皈无点点头。

寺庙太多，四望憎恨道友，同样会恨他皈无。

没有在他面前表现。

但对那些寺庙动手，也不是不可能的。

皈无大师离去，望着那手持锡杖，披着袈裟的背影，世间唯一存在的真佛，又何尝不是双脚深陷泥潭之中。

在功德之眼的窥视下，皈无大师佛光异彩，可在深处同样有着邪性在沸腾着，虽说被压制住，但肯定会有反弹的时候。

至于大师能撑到何时，他不知道。

往往这些邪性，似乎只需要一个小小的火花，便能彻底点燃。

渐渐地，随着大师消失在视线中，林凡招招手，他们与大师走了不同的分叉口。

次日，前方的道路升腾着浓郁的迷雾，此雾很厚，很深，可见度很低，只能看到面前两三米的路而已。

“道长，这雾不对劲吧。”猫妙妙问道。

灰鼠妖道：“我也觉得不对劲，以前我在深山里经常看到迷雾，但那些迷雾很浅薄的，没有这么厚。”

林凡观察，在功德之眼的窥视下，没有煞气，怨念，但的确有妖气弥漫，只是这妖气中掺杂着人气。

6◇9◇书◇吧

“随我来。”

林凡向前走去，三妖急忙跟随在后面，她们不敢离开道长太远，贴在身边，看着周围。

在功德之眼的指引下，他顺着妖人之气掺杂的方向走去，哪怕前方看着无路，但当跨过去的时候，才发现这些都是虚假的。

在他看来如果是普通人误入其中，摸索着，最终便是走出迷雾，而不是深入到迷雾中。

不知多久，眼前迷雾浅薄许多，能看的视线更远，更清晰。

他们站在一座村庄前，村口旁生长着一颗非常茂盛的歪脖子槐树，在此等宁静的氛围中，显得有些怪异。

三妖目光落在槐树上，同为妖，如何分辨不出此树散发着妖气。

林凡又如何看不出，他只是看了眼，便收回目光，朝着村里走去，三妖不懂道长的意思，但道长都没有说什么，她们自然不会开口询问，跟着就是。

当他们抬脚跨入到村里的那一刻。

一股寒意浮现。

三妖胆颤，妖心震动，似触碰到某种可怕的东西似的。

林凡面无表情的看着，村子里陡然不像先前那般的宁静，似乎有幻觉，出现许多村民们的身影，冷冷清清的村子，变得热闹起来。

数位村民扛着农具，有说有笑的朝着村外走来。

“牛哥，这次庄稼长的非常好，今年肯定是大丰收。”

“嗯，肯定了，到时候家里留些粮，剩下的就拿到荆河县换点钱，给家里的婆娘跟孩子买件新衣服。”

“我给我娘买件，她老一辈子就没穿过新衣服。”

“咱们好好干，生活越来越好了。”

村民们无视眼前的林凡他们，直接穿透过去，林凡回头望去，那些村民的身影逐渐消散，消失的无影无踪。

此时，幼童的声音传来，顺着声音望去，一群孩童奔跑着，追赶着，他们跑到村口，无忧无虑的躺在槐树下，有的爬到槐树上抓着虫子。

“小胖快上来，槐树奶奶身上又长虫子了。”

“来了，来了。”

一位胖墩墩的孩童穿着露裆裤，朝着槐树上爬去，但一点都不灵活，一屁股摔到地上，疼的嗷嗷叫，周围孩童哈哈笑着。

忽然，槐树上掉下几个似豆角的果实。

孩童们欢呼着，拿起豆角果实放到嘴里，就跟吃糖果似的，满脸的幸福，就连那胖墩墩的孩童，在吃掉果实后，屁股一点都不痛了。

他们伸出短细的手臂抱着槐树，高呼着槐树奶奶真好。

显然，他们认为这些甜甜的果实就是槐树奶奶送给他们的。

忽然，这样温馨的场景消失了，一根箭矢不知从何而来，胖墩墩的孩童被从远处袭来的箭矢击穿身躯，死死钉在了槐树上。

鲜血从孩童身上溢出，顺着槐树流淌到地面。

“槐树奶奶，好疼啊。”

孩童们惊慌，哭喊朝着村子里跑去。

一群不知从何而来的持刀恶汉们出现，他们如疯狗般的朝着村子里冲去，见人就杀，冲到屋子里，发出让人胆颤的狂笑着，紧接着，就有衣衫不整的妇女跑出来，还没跑多远，就被别的恶汉扑倒在地。

任由她们如何喊叫，那一双双罪恶之手撕碎了她们的衣服，撕碎了她们的身躯。

恶汉们提着孩童们，将刀架在孩童的脖子上，让村里的人将所有的东西拿出来，当他们将积累的东西拿出，自以为能救下孩子，让这群恶魔停手的时候。

这群恶魔狞笑着，割掉了孩童们的脑袋。

此等惨烈的画面看的三妖在颤抖，心生害怕，不由自主的往后退了一步。

林凡看似面无表情的看着，但他的心不平静，他知道这些都是曾经所发生的事情，如今只是营造出来的幻象。

有马蹄声传来，一位恶汉骑着马，停在村口，静静望着所发生的一切。

“都快点，将东西都收好，老子能否成为荆河县的县太爷就看这一波了。”骑在马上的恶汉喊道。

在村中作恶的恶汉们听到大哥的声音，没有继续戏耍，而是快速的收割，将所有的村民都砍杀的干干净净。

随后带着收获满满的东西，大摇大摆的离开这里。

画面消散。

在功德之眼下，村庄的百姓们，孩童们依旧还在，但那是以魂的形式存在，如同木偶般的在村里飘荡着。

这是虚假的存在。

没有人在意，只有村口的那颗槐树在意。

林凡转身，走到村口的槐树面前，轻声道：“贫道玄颠，你已成妖，却不离开此地，而是将村民们的魂魄留在村中，但你法力太弱，魂魄残缺消散，仅有魂在，这就是你想要的吗？”

“正所谓有仇报仇，有怨报怨，无人助你，贫道助你。”

“何必强留着他们唯一快要散去的魂。”

随着他说出这番话，槐树树叶猛地震动着，沙沙作响，一道尖锐怨恨到极致的愤怒吼声响彻。

声音中包含着痛苦与无助。

一道佝偻的老妪虚影缓缓从槐树里走出，老妪缓缓抬头，双目漆黑，凝聚着无边怨念之气。

“滚，滚。”

槐树妖怒吼着。

它本就是普普通通的槐树，自从有人在这里搭建了村庄，便将她栽种在村口，一年四季，春夏秋冬，从普通的槐树在人气的影响下，渐渐有了灵智。

有了耳朵，她经常听到村民们在她的羽翼下聊着家常，也经常听着孩童们在她这边玩耍传出的欢声笑语。

有了鼻子，她能嗅到村民们的味道，那充满温馨的味道。

有了嘴巴，她能品尝村民们送给她的香烛。

可是在她有了眼睛，想要将村民们的模样记在心里的时候，第一眼便看到那惨死在她面前叫小胖的孩童，耳朵听到小胖喊她槐树奶奶，好痛。

那一刻，她真想生长出手臂，阻拦这一切。

可是她动弹不得，只能眼睁睁目睹着。

后来，她只能锁住他们的魂魄，但她道行太浅，无法永远的庇护着，眼睁睁的看着他们魂魄消散，却无能为力。

林凡道：“你宁愿留着残魂，让他们的残魂饱受折磨与痛苦，也不愿手刃仇人吗？”

“滚。”

林凡闭着眼，当睁开眼的那一刻，他的体型膨胀起来，无边的魔性滔天而起，沸沸腾腾，如煮开的热水一般。

“告诉老子，你想不想有仇报仇，有怨报怨，将夺走你美好的恶人，全部杀掉？”林凡喷吐着灼热邪气，大声询问道。

被魔影笼罩的老妪呆愣着，抬起头，看着那魔焰滔天的存在，双膝跪地，深埋着头，泪水湿了地面。

“魔，助我。”老妪大声道。

林凡：……

狐妲己跟猫妙妙听到槐树妖竟然称道长为魔的那一刻，她们的心都提到嗓子眼了。

称呼错了啊。

站在你面前的可是领悟了紫气东来道体的玄颠道长，可不是什么魔。

就你这样，怎么还能让道长助你报仇。

Lin Fan turned around, opened his mouth, and took a deep breath. The residual souls floating in the village were wrapped by a suction force and continued to flow into his mouth.

Protect these residual souls with the Taoist body.

He walked up to the locust tree, grabbed it with both hands, exerted gentle force, pulled the tree up by the roots, and supported the bottom of the tree with one palm.

"Come on, I'll take you to get revenge now. Today's Jinghe County is handed over to you."
